8 free Linux apps that make tricky tasks surprisingly easy - no command line required
"Linux is becoming more and more popular around the world. Part of the reason for that is the end of Windows 10. At the same time, Linux has come a long way since its early days of only targeting developers, admins, or computer science majors. This evolution has made it possible to never touch the command line (which is something that I firmly believe is possible)."
"Fortunately, there's Grsync, a user-friendly GUI that makes Rsync much easier. That's not to say that Grsync makes rsync easy enough for anyone without having a fundamental understanding of rsync. For example, you need to understand the difference between source vs. destination, permission preserving, etc. For example, in the Source and Destination section of the GUI, you need to know that the source is what you want to back up and the destination is where you want to house the backup."
Linux adoption is growing globally, partly driven by the end of Windows 10. Linux has matured beyond developer-only audiences, enabling users to avoid the command line through graphical tools. Free GUI applications can replace common command-line utilities and are straightforward to install. Grsync provides a graphical front end for rsync, simplifying backup tasks while still requiring understanding of source versus destination, permission preservation, and remote SCP destination syntax. Users must be mindful of path formats and trailing slashes to avoid creating unintended subfolders. File manager GUIs and other graphical utilities cover many traditional command-line functions.
